All Employees Standard Error Tables

The tables below display variance statistics for
all employees (AE)
and their associated average weekly hours (AWH), average hourly earnings (AHE), and average weekly overtime hours (AWOH) for select industries. Note that estimates of variance are not available for Government sectors due to lack of historical
probability-based estimates.
Given the methods used to calculate them, the standard and relative standard errors presented here are appropriate for use with both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted CES data.
Tables 1 and 2 contain the relative standard error for
AE
and the AWH, AHE, and AWOH of
all employees
for first preliminary and second preliminary estimates, respectively.
Tables 3 and 4 contain the standard error of 1-, 3-, and 12-month changes in AE and in the AWH, AHE, and AWOH of
all employees
for first preliminary and second preliminary estimates, respectively. Final sample-based estimates closely resemble those of second preliminary and are available upon request.
In addition, sampling errors are not applicable to estimates made using the small domain model (SDM). For more information on the CES SDM, see the CES Technical Notes under Small Domain Model at
